Effect of essential amino acid кetoanalogues and protein restriction diet on morphogenetic proteins (FGF-23 and Кlotho) in 3b-4 stages chronic кidney disease patients: a randomized pilot study.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundA low protein diet (LPD) with essential amino acid ketoanalogue supplementation (KA) may contribute in improving of chronic kidney disease (CKD), while the exact mechanisms of KA's effect are not established yet. We have conducted a prospective, randomized, controlled comparative study of LPD + KA and LPD alone in relation to serum Klotho, FGF-23 levels in CKD patients.
methods79 non-diabetic CKD 3b-4 stage patients, compliant with LPD diet (0.6 g/kg of body weight/day), had been selected. The patients were randomized into two groups. The first group (42 patients) received LPD + КA. The second group (37 patients) continued the LРD alone. In addition to routine tests, serum Klotho, FGF-23 levels, as well as bioimpedance analysis, sphygmography (stiffness (augmentation) indices (AI), central (aortal) blood pressure) with a «SphygmaCor» device; echocardiography (valvular calcification score (VCS) and LVMMI), were performed.
resultsThere were body mass indices' decrease (p = 0.046), including muscle body mass in men (p = 0.027) and woman (p = 0.044) in the LPD group to the end of study (14th month). In addition, lower FGF-23 (p = 0.029), and higher sKlotho (p = 0.037) were detected in the LPD + KA group compared to the LPD one. The increase in AI (p = 0.034), VCS (p = 0.048), and LVMMI (p = 0.023) was detected more often in the LPD group at the end of study.
conclusionLPD + KA provides support for nutrition status and contributes to more efficient correction of FGF-23 and Klotho abnormalities that may result in cardiovascular calcification and cardiac remodeling decreasing in CKD. At the same time, a prolonged LPD alone may lead to malnutrition.
